Elmo in Chains

It's a parent's guilty dream come true! Impersonators dressed as Elmo, Mr. Incredible, and the villan from "Scream" were arrested on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for harrasing tourists for tips after posing for photos. Having been previously warned by police, they were handcuffed at gunpoint and officially charged with "agressive begging." I'm begging for some photos of my own of a life-sized Elmo in handcuffs. Does that make Mr. Noodle and Dorothy his accomplices?

In other news, November is National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write the first rough draft of a 50,000 word novel in one month. My very brave best friend is undertaking the challenge, but I'm not even considering it. Mommy-dom waits for no novel. Cub Scouts first, fiction second.
